This artist radically simplified the human back in his bronze relief series of that name, and he painted a mural set over window arches for the Barnes Foundation. One work by this artist contains a pile of melons and leaves on a gridded pavement to the left of one of its title figures, who sits in front of an ochre background. Another of his works depicts a number of women lounging near a boat on a beach and takes its title from a Baudelaire poem. This painter of The Moroccans and (*) Luxe, Calme, et Volupté depicted flowers next to the head and shoulders of a woman with shades of lavender in her legs and arms in a painting subtitled "Souvenir of Biskra". Another of his painting shows various people playing pipes and embracing, while in the background circle of five people adopt a pose from another of his paintings. For 10 points, name this painter of Blue Nude, The Joy of Life, and The Dance.
